Jazz take on Roy, get swap 1st rounders with Wolves. Wolves get worst of Warriors/Jazz pick, Jazz get Wolves pick.

Clippers get Ridnour to replace Bledsoe.

Wolves trade Ridnour to open cap room for next year.

Kevin Murphy is just traded to Wolves so we don't go over the roster limit.

Wolves don't own their own pick. They have Memphis' pick, with top 16 protection or something.

I was thinking Roy and that pick for Marvin might make sense if Roy's contract really is not going to be guaranteed. Even if it is, the Jazz could waive and "stretch provision" his wages to get about $5mm more in cap room this summer.

Trying to find out about it, but it sounds super confusing. It sounds like they have their own pick protected top 13?

Here's the thing with the Wolves---Their GM Kahn doesn't have a whole lot of time left on his deal, and they're also going to be under pressure to try to appease Kevin Love with quality vets, or trade him pre-emptively. Kahn probably feels pressure to win now. So, they're moving a pick and Roy's non-guaranteed deal (sounds like the Harpring situation we had), for a serviceable vet. They gave up the #18 pick they had last year for Chase Buddinger, for example. Same thing now.
